While practicing law; advocating environmental sustainability and rule of law; and teaching environmental law, rule of law, and democracy building for half a century Gordon Davis privately wrote poetry. Whether pondering his professional journey or grappling with more elusive mysteries, he has leaned on meditative verse and dished up timely doggerel. The poet pens a natural history of the Tribes of mutant thoughts that, seriatim, Occupy and then, in turn, succumb, but leave no Fossil record of their fleeting domination Other than his imprecise transcription… Though his sporadic verse writing has extended over decades, the lurking hypothesis that more people write poetry than read it had regularly squelched any urge to share his writing beyond family. It was his family's support and encouragement (and that thing about time's wingéd chariot) that finally prompted him to release this collection.

Autorenporträt
Gordon Davis was born in 1941 in Richmond, Virginia, where he attended the public schools. He is an engineering graduate of Yale University and of the University of Virginia School of Law. His twenty year law practice, first with a Wall Street firm, then as general counsel to the Adirondack Park Agency, then as a private practitioner in the Adirondacks, added an international dimension beginning in 1991, when he served as chief legal officer on a series of sustainable development projects in Russia, China and Mongolia. Thereafter, he directed rule of law programs in China and Hong Kong. He has published and lectured in Asia, Europe and the United States on environmental law, rule of law, democracy building, and other topics. He served as adjunct faculty at the State University of New York (1975-1990), the University of Chicago (2000-2009), and Northwestern University (1998-2017). Gordon has been married to Melissa Weller Davis, a non-governmental organization expert, for nearly fifty years. They have three fabulous children, George, Charlie and Victoria. Gordon and Melissa now split their time between Evanston, Illinois, and Santa Fe, New Mexico.
